Chimera I.P.A

Chimera I.P.A. 7.0%:

A traditional India Pale Ale, brewed with a hugely increased hop rate for a strong, floral aroma, and a powerful, bitter taste. This award winning IPA is seriously drinkable, but deceptively strong…. not a beer to be taken lightly! Available in bottle at 7.0% ABV.

Downton Brewery Chimera IPA is a truly classic IPA.
Chimera is bursting with resin and hoppy flavours.
Chimera packs quite a punch, as a traditional IPA should.
Chimera would certainly win in a fight against Greene King IPA & Deuchars IPA's softer, less traditional alternatives. A great match with spicy foods, your favourite curry, or a peppered steak.
A true traditional IPA. Strong, hoppy and refreshing. Bursting with hoppy resin flavours and citrus, this is an IPA with a bite. Light enough in flavour to be refreshing for the summer, yet strong enough to be warming in the winter.

IPAs (India Pale Ales) were originally designed for export to the British Army out in India – the higher levels of hops and alcohol both acting as preservatives to keep the beer in top condition during the long hot sea voyage. IPA’s were developed to stop soldiers drinking the ridiculously strong local tipple – arrack, which, combined with infected water, was putting close to one third of the army out of action.
Chimera will quench the thirst of even the most parched soldier! The Empire, and therefore civilisation, was built because of beers like this.
